I've never been soooo disappointed- i'm hella glad I didn't travel again to try and see this show

She should postone all of the October dates.Take a month off,rest,recover and re-group.This tour hasn't been running very smoothly.Take some time to get it right!

Shit happens... I just hope she's ok by the time she's suppose to be here in NYC
and NJ and if by chance she's not.... Oh well i'll use the 600.00 for this jacket i've been eyeing... Just hope she gets well.

I remember those days.

October is sooo tight for her. I'm worried she won't have enough time to fully recuperate before she hits the road again or she could relapse.

JackieBlue said:

you are right they have her doing six shows in one week!!

Evvy said:

That's why I say she should postone all of the October shows.This schedule is a mess....it needs to be worked out so that she has a few days to relax between shows.

Evvy said:

That's crazy! Maybe 3 or 4 at the most. I really think they are force fitting shows to get this tour off the ground. My take is that they were looking for any opening they could get while minimizing hopping around geographically. But she needs time to recuperate not even so much because of her age but simply because touring and traveling is a bitch on the body and the immune system. If it's not vertigo, it'll be something else especially if she doesn't have a very strong constitution.

that made me think of colonics and bowel movements

..but I don't think it has anything to do with age- it's a grueling schedule if you are 20. I think this whole tour has been mismanaged. Maybe she's reaping some awful seed she has sown.....

Doesn't Janet have these types of problems on every tour? Illnesses,re-scheduled dates,postponements,etc.

Evvy said:

I agree, age is besides the point at this juncture. Even the NBA has less games per week. Reaping what you sow... could be.

SoulAlive said:

Yes.

JackieBlue said:

What exactly has Janet done to deserve the past 4 years? I'd really like to know.

Is the October 28 show the last date of this tour?

SoulAlive said:

I think she's doing a New Year's Day show in Boston.

ya know sometimes when you make bad business decisions they bite you in the but. I've been a janet fan for as long as I can remember so please know i'm not wishing her ill will- but her promotions have not been handled well for the past 7 years.

JackieBlue said:

I don't think it's ever been this bad. She must be in really bad shape.

SoulAlive said:

Yes, she does. In fact, my husband just made the same comment over the weekend. There is always something going on to cancel or post-pone her concerts. I have to wonder if some of the reasons have to do with her yo-yo dieting, colonics and other unhealthy practices as she prepares for concerts. These things are very unhealthy and can make some people extremely run-down and ill.

Two words --- Jermaine Dupri.

Empress said:

Yeah,they were speculating about this on a local radio station...wondering if Janet's yo-yo dieting is to blame.It's very unhealthy to constantly keep gainng and losing weight like that.

Did you guys mean her previous yo-yo diet catching up with her? I hope she’s not actually dieting right now while on tour. With the schedule she's on she’d shed pounds naturally while eating healthy nutritious foods.

Personally I don’t think the colonics are so bad but it does depend on the frequency and what her diet consists of afterwards.

I also think after not being on tour after several years she may be getting a swift reality check that her body can no longer tolerate certain habits and foods that she used to be able to take on without a second thought. What you could indulge in at 34 may make you queasy or give you migraines at 44. That’s natural but maybe it took a toll on her.

Is she still doing some sort of fitness book or is it just a blip in a biography?

...it would make the book more interesting if she added some chapters about her health during this tour..

If this keeps up the tour is going to be cancelled. Nothing seems to be going right for her. You gotta wonder though...is she really sick or is it she is not doing that well with ticket sales in those areas. I do not want to think that but who knows.

She needs to adapt the "Rick Springfield" touring agenda, the main reason he has been able to play between 75-100 dates a year since 2000. Basically he goes to a market does 3 shows, and then goes home, visits his wife and kids, tapes General Hospital appearances and then goes back out for a couple of shows and then comes home to LA. It also KEEPS THE SHOWS FRESH! this blueprint would work for everyone and it also lets you recoup and rest, most artists because of straight touring are SOLID the first few weeks and then get a little stale towards the end.
